Answer:

Mathilde is motivated to borrow things she can't afford in order to fit in with a  higher social class.

Explanation:

Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace," tells the story of Mathilde Loisel and her desire to be 'equal' to the women of the higher class. And in her greed, she led her family through misfortunes which ended downgrading them further.

The setting of the story is a high society where parties are organized, dinners and balls are a regular occurrence for entertainment and socializing. And in this desire to be a part of the higher class and their "parties", Mathilde spent her husband's savings to get a new dress for the ball. Not only that, but she also borrowed a necklace from Forestier which she ended losing at the night of the ball.

To repay the lost necklace, they gave up her inherited money and also borrowed the rest and bought a new necklace. It was after a decade of 'suffering' that they only learned the truth about the necklace- it was a fake and they had replaced it with a genuine one.

<u>Mathilde's dreams and desires make her borrow things she can't afford just so she can fit in with the people of the higher class. </u>

Answer:

Quality advertisement sells product even before the buyer set up for a transaction. Companies spend huge amount in making sure a catchy advert is presented to the mass population which are the targeted audience.

No matter how much is spent in making this advertisement available, it is surely believed that the company covers their expenses as they add it up in the product to be sold. Using the advertisement of Airtel Network in which " Data is Life" is quoted after the advertisememt, the content of this advert shows the abundance of food stuff in a woman's kitchen making her to feel free without managing or lacking, in the other hand another woman is shown in her own kitchen lacking all that is supposed to be available in the kitchen and she don't have at enough to sustain her in cooking. So the aim was that with Data life is made easier and there won't be unecesary management.

Knowing that everyone understands what it means to lack food stuff in the kitchen and in the other way round, what it means to have in abundance this advert was made simpler for everyone to understand and the idea already sold.

The smaller firm also sell their own products through smaller advertisement online, offline and by bill posting too. They make their own sales but not as large as the big companies.
